I am fairly sure I remember seeing an admin statement somewhere that T:NO RW has limits when it comes to the basest of common knowledge about what real-world things are called — e.g., we don't need to have a specific source defining the word "toaster" to make a page about toasters if we've got one appearing onscreen and being used to toast bred; we don't need to name the page bread-heating implement (The Time Meddler) or what-have-you.

It seems like the same reasoning might apply to well-known Doctor Who things, and Doctor Who things only, inasmuch as the target audience of The Zygon Isolation is, I think, going to be assumed to know what Big Finish is to the same level as The Poison Sky assumes a basic familiarity with the concept of cars.
